Had the openings been made at once, instead of gradu- ally, the reproduction would have been secured. (c)-(d). — Natural regeneration of spruce in the Melezet Canton, communal forest of Villarodin-Bourget, at an altitude of 6,060 feet. No regeneration of spruce came in after ordinary selection cuttings, which removed only a tree here and there. After a windfall gave sufficient Ught (and wounded the soil) reproduction has succeeded in the following proportions: Spruce, six-tenths; larch, three-tenths; cembric pine, one-tenth. (85).
